Life for Russians is better than it was during the Soviet Union. Russia is now post-USSR. However, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has been trying to push some semi-communist ideas in Russian Parliament.

alternate answer: it depends poverty has risen from 1.5% to 15% since the collapse
life expectancy has dropped as the massive changes from communism to capitalism stressed out many people, leading to early death
so one could say life was better before the collapse

∙ 14y agoI was in Russia last summer for 13 days so I can't say I am an expert on life there, but I can tell you what I saw and thought. It seemed to me that it was very controlled and that under the surface that everyone watched what they did. I do know my tour was followed because I happen to break away from the group and encountered a man that I had noticed in another area of Moscow and he was there when I broke away. We couldn't get email out on my ship for 13 days which I thought strange. I did find about 3 internet cafes while there that I could use. The presence of police was always around. I had a personal tour guide in St. Petersburg and asked to be taken for lunch to place that normal Russian's went to. She told me she couldn't do it. The traffic in Moscow and St. Petersburg was awful and many drove American cars. The streets were very clean and there were no stray animals, but the public restroom in Moscow was horrible . The people seemed nice, but we didn't get to "mix" with them very often. I had one lovely encounter with an elderly lady when I moved over to share a bench with her. I have travelled a lot and am use to more contact with the locals. Enroute to the airport in St. Petersburg I noticed that about every 500 feet or so police cars were parked along the express way. I don't know if they were protecting us or watching us. I did feel the whole time there that I had to be careful.
